stdeb gzipping some data_files
by Lee Harr 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

I am using stdeb (https://github.com/astraw/stdeb) to create debian .deb packages from a python project. (That page says this is the place to ask questions...) stdeb is working quite well, but some of the files that I mention in the data_files part of the setup.py are being gzipped at some point in the process. Is there any way to prevent (hopefully from setup.py, setup.cfg, or stdeb.cfg) the alteration of those files? Thanks for any pointers.

But running "python > setup.py egg_info" throws the same error as I mentioned above. Can you show us the output ? The error happens because split_sections() returns at some point a (group, lines) where group is None. >>> import pkg_resources >>> for group, lines in pkg_resources.split_sections(open('distribute.egg-info/entry_points.txt').read()): ... if group is None and lines is not None: ... print 'ha!' ... print lines ... You can also add a pdb in the code just before the raise, and call egg_info -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org

disutils2 tests and python 2.5
by Roumen Petrov 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hello all, I would like to ask to compare/check unit test results of distutils2 (repository) with someone. In my build environment the unit test exit without errors: ---------------- test_check_metadata (distutils2.tests.test_command_check.CheckTestCase) ... ok test_check_restructuredtext (distutils2.tests.test_command_check.CheckTestCase) ... skipped 'requires docutils' test_config (distutils2.tests.test_config.ConfigTestCase) ... ---------------- Note that test_config is without ok at the end. Did someone get same results with python 2.5 ? Roumen

Distutils fails to build

Hi, I have been trying to reinstall distutils-0.6.14 on my gentoo system after some file corruption and now distutils fails to build. When manually building from source it throws the following error: *python2.6 setup.py build* Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 211, in <module> scripts = scripts, File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/distutils/core.py", line 113, in setup _setup_distribution = dist = klass(attrs) File "/home/oisin/source/distribute-0.6.14/setuptools/dist.py", line 222, in __init__ for ep in pkg_resources.iter_entry_points('distutils.setup_keywords'): File "/home/oisin/source/distribute-0.6.14/pkg_resources.py", line 454, in iter_entry_points entries = dist.get_entry_map(group) File "/home/oisin/source/distribute-0.6.14/pkg_resources.py", line 2252, in get_entry_map self._get_metadata('entry_points.txt'), self File "/home/oisin/source/distribute-0.6.14/pkg_resources.py", line 2038, in parse_map raise ValueError("Entry points must be listed in groups") ValueError: Entry points must be listed in groups Anyone got any idea what is causing this? This is preventing me from reinstalling allot of packages on my system, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a tread on the gentoo forums with more info on the problem if anyone is interested; http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-854323.html Thanks.

Hi, I am using pip version 0.3.1 on Ubuntu Linux 9.10 to install django-piston in a virtualenv. Since I need a specific version of django-piston I have the following entry in the requirements.txt file: -e hg+http://bitbucket.org/jespern/django-piston@dc0ee00d3bfc#egg=django-piston The first time the install works fine with pip but on the second time I get the following error: Command hg fetch -q failed with error code 255 Exception information: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip.py", line 252, in main self.run(options, args) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip.py", line 408, in run requirement_set.install_files(finder, force_root_egg_info=self.bundle) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip.py", line 1741, in install_files req_to_install.update_editable() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip.py", line 1486, in update_editable version_control(self.url).obtain(self.source_dir) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip.py", line 2942, in obtain call_subprocess(['hg', 'fetch', '-q'], cwd=dest) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pip.py", line 3543, in call_subprocess % (command_desc, proc.returncode)) InstallationError: Command hg fetch -q failed with error code 255 If I run "hg fetch -q" manually in the django-piston repository I get: abort: working dir not at branch tip (use "hg update" to check out branch tip) mercurial is at version 1.3.1.

installing to a non-standard directory
by K. Richard Pixley 21 Nov '10

21 Nov '10

I'm trying to install to a non-standard directory. Something akin to "python setup.py install --prefix=`pwd`/junk" using gnu makefile standards semantics for --prefix but I can't seem to find the right arguments to install to make this happen. The closest I can seem to find is: python setup.py install --prefix=`pwd`/junk --install-layout=unix But that returns errors: distutils.errors.DistutilsError: can't create or remove files in install directory The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the installation directory: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/rich/projects/rcmp/junk/lib/python2.6/site-packages/test-easy-install-12743.pth' The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or the distutils default setting) was: /home/rich/projects/rcmp/junk/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ This directory does not currently exist. Please create it and try again, or choose a different installation directory (using the -d or --install-dir option). Although there doesn't appear to be any --install-dir option. Can anyone explain what any of the 13 options related to this are intended to do? Or better, can anyone tell me which one I want? --rich

setuptools vs distribute on Debian
by Manlio Perillo 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 No, this is not a flame. I'm on Debian Squeeze and I noticed this strange thing: $sudo easy_install -U setuptools install_dir /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ Searching for distribute Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/distribute/ Reading http://packages.python.org/distribute Best match: distribute 0.6.14 Processing distribute-0.6.14-py2.6.egg distribute 0.6.14 is already the active version in easy-install.pth Installing easy_install script to /usr/local/bin Installing easy_install-2.6 script to /usr/local/bin Using /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/distribute-0.6.14-py2.6.egg Processing dependencies for distribute Finished processing dependencies for distribute Now, I read that this is a Debian policy: for some reasons they force me to use distribute instead setuptools. However, I *do* want to use setuptools, and I'm unable to do what I want. I checked the "fake" setuptools source code but I can't see what I need to modify in order to get setuptools when I ask for setuptools. By the way, I suspect there is a bug in Debian setuptools: if dist.key=='distribute': # Ensure that setuptools itself never becomes unavailable! # XXX should this check for latest version? filename = os.path.join(self.install_dir,'setuptools.pth') if os.path.islink(filename): os.unlink(filename) f = open(filename, 'wt') f.write(self.pth_file.make_relative(dist.location)+'\n') f.close() However if `easy_install setuptools` is an alias for `easy_install distribute`, that code may not executed (?)

Python Deb Packages
by Damian Johnson 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

Hi, I'm working on deb/rpm packaging for a terminal monitor of tor relays [1] and running into an issue with the egg-info distutil autogenerates. My project currently installs to the default '/usr/share/pyshared' [2] but according to the debian policy for private python modules [3] it should be installed to '/usr/share' instead (my program is an application and there's no reason for it to be importable by other modules). The problem with doing this is that the egg-info metadata is hardcoded in 'distutils/command/install.py' to be added on install, and having an egg-info file on '/usr/share' causes a lintian error when generating the deb. Also, most things I've been reading seems to say that the package belongs in '/usr/share/pyshared' and that removing the egg-info is kinda evil [4]. Help would be appreciated. Cheers! -Damian [1] http://www.atagar.com/arm/ [2] https://svn.torproject.org/svn/arm/trunk/setup.py [3] http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/python-policy/ch-programs.html#… [4] http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2007-September/008225.html
